Bush Urges Congress To Pass Legislation For Homeowners
President George Bush spoke with Congress and urged them to pass the legislation – which would help to modernize the Federal Housing Administration before he left for the NATO summit in Europe. Bush has been finding new ways to help out the homeowners that have been struck hard by the credit crisis.
“They have a lot of work to do,” Bush said, referring to Congress. “Congress needs to pass legislation to modernize the Federal Housing Administration. Struggling homeowners are waiting on Congress to act.”
Bush also called on Congress to approve a free trade agreement with Colombia and pass legislation to protect telecommunications firms from lawsuits after they helped the administration in its domestic spying program following the September 11 attacks. “These are all vital priorities,” Bush said. He urged Congress to pass the legislation and send it to him to sign into law “as soon as possible.”
